"No problem, we have enough artillery shells. You might as well try out the firepower of an infantry battalion on site? There can also be a trial person. Is there anyone who wants to try it first? Mr. Will?" Alphonse smiled and motioned to the old man.

Anda and the others relocated new wooden boards, and this time they increased the number to 50, and arranged them more dispersedly on the predetermined target area.

"If you don't mind, I want to give it a try?" It was Clark Allen who spoke. He looked at Will Morty with a smile, and Will Morty smiled and made a polite gesture; Clark Allen thanked him slightly.

, then he and Hawk Azit came to the Falcon Cannon. Yasuo and Antoine did not leave, but gave them a brief introduction and acted as loaders beside them.

"Bang bang bang!" Most of the targets were missed in the first round. After all, both of them were rookies. After Yasuo and Antoine readjusted the shooting angle for them, they started shooting wildly again.

Once, they fired eleven rounds in a row without hesitation. Until all the sub-cannons present were used up, the two of them let go of the Falcon Cannon without any satisfaction.

"Ding!" Dai Lun pinched the chronograph pocket watch in his hand and said with a smile: "Yes, one minute and forty-four seconds. Although it is only eleven rounds, if he is a skilled gunner, he can even fire eight rounds or more in one minute.

"More."

"He is truly a pirate killer!" Another gentleman next to him said. He carefully calculated that the fifty wooden planks arranged in the target area were fully sixteen under this brutal shooting.

One was broken into pieces, six more were hit in vital parts, and eighteen were shot. In other words, only eleven of the fifty planks were intact. Although the pirates would probably dodge during the actual operation, in real life

It is impossible for the boarding battle to be so dispersed, and the casualty rate is more than half! In other words, if there are skilled gunners to cooperate and fire two cannons to correct it, a pirate ship with only forty or fifty people will definitely not be enough for them to fight;

Moreover, with such a terrifying density of close-range shooting, even if the pirates are not dead, the entire ship will be basically destroyed. The merchant ship can still easily break off the boarding and leave on its own, and even burn the opponent with a fire!

"Mr. Alphonse, how much production do you have now? I need a lot." Mr. Clark, who has experienced the metal storm, is confident in the rapid-fire cannon.

"You give me a number, and I can arrange production as quickly as possible and give you an accurate time." Alphonse smiled.

"I have six ships now, with at least 12 guns. If there are more later, I plan to adjust the gun positions on the ship and replace the six-pounder guns with rapid-fire guns. In that case, I may need 3-40 rapid-fire guns.

"Cannon." Clark Allen laughed and said, this is a large amount. With the speed of Golden Anchor only delivering two anchors a day, there may not be that much output in a month. Moreover, due to the current main merchant ship of the Netherlands, Fu

Lute merchant ships are all pure-blood merchant ships without gun positions, and their quality does not allow the installation of heavy guns. This kind of rapid-fire cannon, which has huge lethality, is small in size, low in price, and can be externally mounted, is obviously more marketable than any artillery!

"Please rest assured, my goal is to become the largest artillery factory in the entire Picardy region. Currently, our full productivity can reach 6 guns per day, and I plan to double it in one to two months." Alphonse smiled.

Dao, in fact, he can currently produce 12 artillery pieces a day; but when the factory receives orders, it needs a steady stream of orders, but it cannot fish for three days and dry the nets for two days. It needs to form a tight order schedule before customers will increase the number of orders.

Regardless of the order volume, I can deliver the goods on time.

"It seems that our little Alphonse is really planning to do something big?" Darren Desai said to Alfred with a smile. In his opinion, 6 guns a day probably means the entire golden anchor.

The workshop has switched production, and Alfred's awkward but polite smile is actually an apology for concealing the true output of Darren.

"This is really good news. I also need 12 rapid-fire cannons. Mr. Alphonse, when will they be delivered?" Hawke Azter also took over.

"Considering Mr. Clark's first-phase order for 12 rapid-fire guns, it would be most appropriate for you to pick up the goods after six days." Alphonse smiled.

"Little Alphonse, for the sake of God and your father, I urgently need four rapid-fire cannons. My ship will go to sea in five days!" Darren Desai shouted loudly.

"Don't be like this, Mr. Darren." Alphonse covered his head in cooperation and said helplessly: "My output per day is only 6 artillery pieces. Considering the installation problem, by noon four days later, I can only produce at most 6 artillery pieces.

27 artillery pieces are coming."

"Think of it again, little Alphonse. You don't want my ship to be robbed completely by pirates, do you? This is all my wealth!" Darren Desai said pitifully.

"It seems that Mr. Yasuo will start working at noon today." Alphonse smiled bitterly: "Everyone knows Mr. Antoine. Please report all orders to him, and Mr. Yasuo will ask him to go to the factory first.

Please work overtime for Mr. Darren. Other gentlemen and ladies, how about we have lunch together?"

"I need six artillery pieces..." Suddenly a large group of people crowded towards Antoine, leaving only the four people who had already submitted their orders...

It was naturally a joke that Yasuo went to work overtime. After sending almost everyone away, Alfred was alone in the living room with Darren Desai and Will Morty who were stranded, while Alphonse was in the study with Yasuo.

Please have a small meeting with Antoine.

"It's unbelievable. I received an order for 86 artillery pieces in one noon. This is the order volume of the Coulon Artillery Factory in a year." Antoine lamented. The Coulon Artillery Factory in his mouth was the only artillery piece left in Calais.

Factory.

"Alphonse, the current order only meets one week's workload. When will we hold a new promotion meeting?" Yasuo also said happily.

"There is no need to fire it in a short time." Alphonse smiled and shook his head and said: "86 artillery pieces, as well as the other 18-28 artillery pieces expected by Mr. Clark. Do 25 merchant ships need so many artillery pieces? They are very fast.

They will come to us to take new orders."

"You mean they resell it? We should sell it for 45 livres." Mr. Antoine stood up in shock.

"There is no need. No matter how much they sell, the point is that they provide us with orders. In order to protect their own interests, they will pay more attention to confidentiality than us." Alphonse smiled: "What is more important for us now is to determine the salary.

The question, Yasuo, in addition to the monthly salary of 15 livres, you will receive an additional 5 sous commission for each cannon delivered, regardless of whether you participated in the casting; Mr. Antoine, please draw up a contract as soon as possible."

"Ah? Really?" Although Yasuo had long known that Alphonse would give him a salary increase, he never expected it to be so much. If based on the 86 cannons already visible, he would be able to get at least 36 this month.

If the salary of livres is directly produced in full, he can get a monthly salary of more than 100 livres a month! The 1,000 livres salary that originally cost him a fortune seems to be only ten months' salary. So

It seems that this noble lady is not very valuable...

"Uh...yes!" Antoine nodded quickly.

"In addition, the two master craftsmen, whose current salary is about 120 livres, have also been adjusted to a fixed salary of 10 livres per month. In addition, for each artillery delivered, they will each receive an additional 5 sous.

Commission, and draw up a new contract as soon as possible." Alfons said with a smile: "Finally, your current salary is also about 120 livres, which is really too harsh. Next, you will receive a fixed salary of 18 livres. In addition,

For every artillery piece delivered, you will also receive a commission of 2 sous."

"Is this...is this appropriate? I actually didn't do anything, but I got a higher salary from Mr. Biassot..." Antoine said with some slight satisfaction.

"As long as more than twenty artillery pieces are delivered every month, Mr. Yasuo's salary will be higher than yours." Alphonse smiled and replied: "I think there is no problem with the order. Your next task is to ensure that we

We can deliver at least three hundred artillery pieces every month. Believe me, you are more important than Asso in this regard."

"I will definitely live up to your master's expectations." Antoine quickly patted his chest and promised.

"Yasuo, in the next week, you cooperate with Mr. Antoine to select the best group of people from the Golden Anchor Workshop and prepare to take over the cannon casting. When the new cannon casting team takes over, I need you to cast another set.

New mold, do you understand?" Alphonse looked at Yasuo again and smiled.

"Of course...don't say one thing, even if it's five or ten sets, I won't care!" Yasuo replied loudly.

"Instead of directly copying the existing molds, I need you to continue to think about it during this period and make the new molds better. When the new molds come out, you will need to train a new group of workers. Then, I need

You have developed city defense artillery, the one you mentioned, and placed it in the colonies to use more intense firepower to deal with the unarmed natives." Alphonse replied with a smile.

"This... there is no problem, I have enough confidence to do it well!" Thinking of the orders that a new cannon can bring, especially this kind of work that adds dozens or even hundreds of livres a month, Yasuo can't wait for today

Just work for Alphonse until you die of overwork!

"Okay, that's all your work arrangements for this month." Alphonse looked at Antoine and continued: "As for Mr. Antoine, your task is to seize four new contracts first, and in addition to

The new cannon-casting team has also drawn up a contract. It is tentatively set as a fixed salary of 8 livres for skilled workers and a commission of 5 sous per cannon. The apprentices have no fixed salary, but a commission of 2 sous per cannon. Wait for half

Months later, when Yasuo delivers the second set of molds and starts training the second group of workers, I need you to look for the acquisition of an anchor workshop nearby."

"Acquire the anchor workshop?" Antoine was stunned for a moment. He could still understand the acquisition of the artillery factory. What is the purpose of continuing to acquire the anchor workshop?

"Yes, the Anchor Workshop. After the acquisition, the anchor equipment will be moved to the new Anchor Workshop, as will the workers. Our Anchor Workshop will be restored to the Moller Artillery Factory. This will have three benefits.

Alphonse smiled and said: "First, if we have fewer anchor colleagues, there will be more anchor orders; second, our artillery factory can also focus more on production; third, our original Moller artillery factory

Customers can also come back here to purchase artillery."

Antoine looked at Yasuo, and Yasuo tilted his head, thought for a moment, and then nodded. After all, acquiring the anchor workshop and the artillery factory were the same to him. He might be able to get new equipment in a different place.

; For Alphonse and Antoine, buying an anchor workshop is obviously more cost-effective than an artillery factory. As Alphonse said, at least there are more anchor orders; besides, there is no need to buy new anchor equipment.

, and the funds can be retained and used to buy artillery equipment...

After seeing off the delighted Yasuo and Antoine, Alphonse returned to the lobby to receive Darren Desai and Will Morty. As soon as he entered the door, Darren Desai joked: "Let me guess.

, got an order for at least sixty artillery pieces, right?"

"Not counting the part that Mr. Allen has not determined yet, there are 86 doors." Alphonse smiled, came to sit across from them and said.

"The profit of artillery is basically about 30%. I think you are about the same. That means you made about a thousand livres today." Will Morty said with a smile.
